[The vase with red lilies is still sittng on her desk. Laid out on a table are sodas, coffee, popcorn, chocolate, and chex mix. She is visibly annoyed, but not at anyone in class.]

301--Family

Hey gang.We've been discussing family, and we're going to continue this unit into next week. So I thought I'd give you a break and let you watch a movie. Please take notes. I'd like your thoughts on the dynamic and dysfunctional relationships between the characters. If you can identify it, tell me when communication breaks down.

She sets up the TV and puts in Home for the Holidays.


[ETA: Everyone who was on time got to see Harkness go crazy and try to kill CJ. Everyone who is late...the classroom is empty.]

((OOC: Hon, if you haven't, you might want to check Ash's broadcast from last night. The icon I made you will come in handy.))

((thanks, I hadn't seen that.))

((I've just gotten some bad news. Nothing really awful, but still. More later.))

((I'll be home after 4pm your time. We can IM, or gmail me. [pets]))

D'anna picks up some of the bubbly stuff and the weird mixy stuff, and settles in to watch the flim.

[ooc: One of my top ten favorite movies!]

Elizabeth is stil bringing her own coffee, and some for CJ too.

She takes a seat and pulls out her notebook, ready to make notes.

*Lindsey grabs a soda and some chex mix, relieved they don't actually have to talk about families any more today.*

*comes into class, ignores movie, ignores snacks, and sits down with his back to the TV facing Lindsey*

Why does your hand want to kill me?

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Wha?
*Looks down at his hands, which aren't doing anything out of the ordinary*

I don't think either of my hands wants to kill anybody. Least not that they've told me.



((hee! *hearts you*))

"I know they're telling you things about me. I know they want you to kill me. I'm going to kill you first," Jack says in a dead-level voice.

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Uh, you're kinda freaking me out a little bit here.

My hands haven't ever said a damn thing to me, far as I know.
So, maybe we can avoid the killing?

*frowns*

My roommate put you up to this?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Boys? Problem?

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Just a little death threat between classmates, ma'am.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Put up? Up put? You want to stick the knife up inside me? Fine. You can try. *shoves desk away*

As Jack is currently suffering from paranoid schizophrenia (but, unlike Vala, not enjoying it a bit), he is not sane enough to come to class today.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((Dammit! Double Dammit! And here I was SO hoping to have him to deal with today. That's WHY I picked a movie instead of discussion. [pouts]))

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

[[Well, hell. In that case... Jack is coming to class today. :)]]

Piper wanders in class and starts to take notes on the movie.

Logan showed up just before class started, so as not to disappoint Allie.

[other-logan.livejournal.com]

Logan watches the craziness, and cringes in sympathy for the pain Harkness must be feeling after CJ kneed him. After everyone else leaves, he gathers his books and walks home.

Sydney had shown up late and things seemed to be a mess so she just left.
